    hi all...

    well my weekend has been ok....

    so far this month i have made £52 on ebay, and today listed some more items..
    i also charged my phone at work so havent had to charge it at home this weekend.
    i nearly had a no spend day, but got dragged to church fete by children!!

    i did buy some books, but they are almost brand new, and once read they shall be sold on ebay :D

    Good morning everyone

    Looks like you all had a productive day

    Thanks to all of you for your good wishes for mum's birthday. We spent the whole morning preparing and hoping that the rain would stop. Thankfully it did. We all had a great time and there was so much food. We left mum and dad at about 12:30 and will go back later today to help them with the final sorting of stuff out (and to help out with the leftovers :D).



    Today I will:
    • [STRIKE]Catch up on the washing up[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Washing HC[/STRIKE] 3 loads - 2 on airer and one to do on a break from the job application
    • [STRIKE]Strip bed[/STRIKE] Niw I need to remake it:o
    • Ironing
    • Apply for a job - the closing date is tomorrow morning!
    • [STRIKE]Scratchies[/STRIKE] 2 x 10p
    • [STRIKE]Pay auntie for cakes and goodies[/STRIKE]
    • Possibly visit potential wedding venue - OH has never seen it and its getting quickly booked for May next year!
    I'm sure that there's loads more but I need to ensure that I get the bare minumum done.


    Catch up with you all later.

    Hi Everyone

    Am just taking a break from filling in the job application and thought I'd see how much more I have to do.
    We didn't get to go to the wedding venue - we were helping mum and dad get order back in the house (and to give out leftover food) and got stuck in REALLY bad traffic. It took us over 2 hours to do a short job! :rolleyes: We'll go next week.

    On the plus side - I have had a no spend day and dad let me keep some change for an errand so I have fed that into the sealed pot!
